Batrack highlighted what he claims are strong similarities between his
Snow Day game, and a game on the Olympics website titled Fuwa Fight
the Winter Clouds.

The graphics and game play of the two simple Flash games do appear to be
substantially similar, and are apparently identical in places. The program code
also has similarities, such as identical variable names.

Batrack first published Snow Day in November 2006. It included a
copyright notice, which does not appear in the game on the Olympic site.

The Beijing Olympics Organizing Committee threatens
harsh
penalties under Chinese law for anybody who pirates its intellectual
property, such as the official Olympics cartoon mascots that appear in the
Fuwa game.

These include confiscation of income generated by the illegal use, as well as
a fine of $7,000 or up to five times any illegal income.

After Batrack's claims began to draw attention on the internet this morning,
Fuwa Fight the Winter Clouds was removed from the Olympics website.

However, at least two other games on the site also appear to be partial
copies of existing games.

"Two of the other games on the Olympic site are obvious rip-offs of
Ferry
Halim's games," said Batrack.

Some of these games include copyright notices from Nasdaq-listed Chinese firm
Sohu, which did
not reply to a request for comment today.

As well as developing games, Batrack helped create interactive websites for
movies such as X-Men, Spiderman and The Hulk.
